- Repairs from £95

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our sink repair in Burgh St Peter
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Your questions about sink repair in Burgh St Peter
Do you come to Burgh St Peter?
We do. Technicians travel to Burgh St Peter from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Burgh St Peter and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
